GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 733619
Cannot set password for user with passwordless login
Last modified: 2014-08-07 09:53:10 UTC
Fedora 20, up-to-date. 1. Install Fedora 20 and set up only one user, without password for login. 2. Boot into Fedora 20 and realize that gnome-shell crashes on that machine. 3. sudo yum install gnome-classic-session 4. Reboot. 5. Realize there is no way to choose the session type (bug 696615). Bleh. 6. Hence try to set a password under gnome-control-center > Users. 7. Click "None" button next to "Password" to set one 8. In "Change Password" dialog, you leave the "Current password" field empty. 9. Realize that the "Change" button never gets enabled so you cannot even set a password of the user. Whoah.
Thanks for the bug report. The option to create user without password should be removed from anaconda and password-less login should be implemented to allow login without password (Bug 679745, Bug 633015). All users should have passwords, see comment: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633015#c5
